Pours a beautiful cloudy almost burgandy color with a small head. It did smell like figs. It had a bready and a malt back bone to it. I thought it was a nice beer

pours cloudy gold with small head. aroma is sweet and slightly fruity with strong toffee and caramel notes. taste is caramel sweet with a somewhat bready nature. mild finish. ok but a bit watery for what it is.

Straight from the cellar, bottle covered in dirt for some odd reason. Nutty malts on the nose, earth hops, brown sugar, oaky rum, raisins and sultanas and more dried fruit. Pours a thick looking murky brownish copper body with a dense collar of lace. Body is sticky, packed with dark and dried fruits, some roasted malts come through with a subtle embrace of alcohol. Very nice. Can’t wait to try it with some more age under its belt.

Murky brown/red color with a light tan head. Nose of plum &/or apricots. Nice malty palate with a delicate alcohol intensaity and a smooth bitter finish at the back end. Better winter ale then in the middle of June. Nonetheless a very nice ale.
